Church of SS. Cosmas and Damian
Nine Ways to be a Holy Person

1. Make Time for Prayer. Make prayer a regular part of your daily life. Use personal prayer, the Scriptures, mediation, and the Liturgy of the Hours. Make a pilgrimage or retreat. Pray the Our Father as a prayer for Christian unity.
2. Practice forgiveness. Learn to forgive and be forgiven. Regularly examine your conscience, practice fasting, and celebrate the sacrament of reconciliation.
3. Celebrate the Eucharist. Actively participate each Sunday, and on other occasions whenever possible, in the eucharistic liturgy.
4. Live a Just Life. Work against discrimination, racism, and oppression. Treat all people with the dignity they deserve as sons and daughters of God.
5. Help the poor. Practice charity by assisting those living in poverty, and promote community-based solutions to the cause of injustice and poverty.
6. Be a Domestic Church. Family is the domestic church. No matter what type of "family" you belong to , support and nurture the love and care within the family.
7. Share faith. Talk about God's presence in your life with other people. Be an evangelizer.
8. Join a Small Christian Community. Form a community if one is not available to strengthen your faith and to receive support to live your faith.
9. Know your Faith. Learn more about the teachings and traditions of the Church. Read the Scriptures. Take advantage of adult education and formation opportunities.
